US EditionElon Musk Made a Promise After SpaceX’s Starship Exploded for Third Time in a Row
- SpaceX launched its ninth Starship test flight at 6:36 p.m. On May 27, 2025, from Starbase, Texas, but the rocket exploded during the mission.
- The flight followed two prior Starship tests that ended in explosions as SpaceX aimed to develop a reusable rocket for moon and Mars missions.
- During the test, the Super Heavy booster separated but exploded six minutes after launch, while the Starship upper stage tumbled uncontrollably and broke apart over the Indian Ocean due to leaks.
- Elon Musk called the event a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" caused by leaks leading to main tank pressure loss, and SpaceX promised to launch Starship every three to four weeks.
- Despite the setback, SpaceX plans to analyze data to improve reliability as Starship remains critical to NASA’s goal of landing astronauts on the moon by 2027 at the earliest.
